snow. this makes its even more slick and difficult to clear. just north of us, that's where the blizzard conditions are. just south, the big story there, tornadoes. many of which have been massive and downright violent. slamming the central u.s. with tornadoes, heavy snow and flash. in texas, at least 14 reported tornadoes from this system, including this massive one caught on camera near happy, texas. watch as the powerful twister moves closer to this interstate highway. take a look at this twister just northwest of lubbock. it cuts through shallow water on friday, whipping up debris and destroying structures in its path. powerful winds leaving a trail of destruction whipping across the panhandle, destroying cars and homes. the same system bringing heavy snow to the rockies and plains. in colorado, near whiteout conditions and strong wind making for dangerous driving. several semi trucks getting stuck on the highway. authorities warning residents to stay home.

>> please don't drive if you don't have to this weekend. >> reporter: the colorado governor activating the national guard to help with potential search and rescue, and in wyoming, several inches of heav. in chee,depi ornhtletuck in sno. i- atimes, s that will be the story of today because we are just getting going with this. with snowfall rates 3 to 4 inches per hour setting up in some spots and we expect some of that to get into the boulder area as well. the center of the storm is now finally east of the colorado rockies, and we're getting this upslope flow, and that means the long duration snow event here. you see the rainfall off to the east and blizzard conditions. winter storm warnings and watches now have been extended into iowa and minnesota. not quite as much severe weather today thankfully as this pushes off to the east, but it does s,k for heavy rain in areas that have seen a lot. chicago a little bit of snow and

sleet mixture tomorrow, and this pushes all the way to the east coast for a little bit of snow for part of some of the big cities there. guess what? there's another system behind this one that will bring another threat for severe weather. talk about that in a few minutes. eva, back to you. >> that is not what we want to hear this morning, rob marciano. we will hear more from you about that next storm system coming up. >>venth won coming forward accusing him of inappropriate behavior. the governor continuing to say he will not step down. abc's trevor ault is joining us from albany with more. good morning to you, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, eva. andrew cuomo says he has never harassed anyone, never assaulted anyone, never abused anyone, and he never would, though now seven women have accused him of some form of inappropriate behavior. the most recent writing her story in "new york magazine." a former reporter here at the statehouse detailing a number of instances like a 2014 holiday party where she says while posing for a photo, the governor grabbed her hand, refused to let

go and allegedly said, am i making you uncomfortable? i thought we were going steady. now cuomo has not responded to this most recent allegation, but he has repeatedly denied any misconduct. he's appeared to spend this weekend so far hunkered down in the governor's mansion. his press office has sent out a number of press releases on state issues, seemingly indicating the work is ongoing as cuomo is refusing to resign. but he is bleeding support from his fellow democrats. now 16 of the 19 new york democrats in congress and both of the state senators say cuomo should step down. he is so far refusing all of those cries. some lawmakers like the majority leader from the state assembly say cuomo deserves a fair process to determine whether or not he is guilty, and there are two investigations under way. one from the state assembly, another from the state attorney general's office. and one of his accusers, former aide charlotte bennett, is scheduled to speak with

investigators from the state ag's office this coming week as these investigations swiftly move forward. whit? >> all right, trevor ault with those new developments. thank you. we turn now to the increasing pressure on the republican senator to step down over what many say are racist comments about black lives matter protesters. abc's elizabeth schulze has the latest with us from capitol hill. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, whit. senator ron johnson has called the rioters who stormed this building friendly and jovial. these latest comments go a step further in what some are calling blatant racism. this morning, wisconsin republican senator ron johnson omntout thwing calls to resign jaar6tcapitol riots. in a radio show clip sparking public outcry, johnson saying, he didn't feel threatened by the pro-trump crowd storming the building, calling them patriots. then adding this -- >> had the tables been turned and president trump won the election and those were tens of

thousands of black lives matter and antifa protesters, i might have been a little concerned. >> reporter: democratic lawmakers accusing johnson of racism. >> black lives matter did protest peacefully at the united states capitol, and they did not cause trauma, injury and loss of life, nor did they maim u.s. capitol police officers in the way that these so-called patriots did. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say more than 300 individuals have been charged in connection to the january 6th attack that left more than five people, including a capitol police officer, dead. congressman ted lieu pointing out that the rioters were mostly white saying, dear senator ron johnson, your white skin color would not have saved you from the mob. in a statement to abc news johnson doubling down on the controversial remarks appearing to cite a study claiming hundreds of black lives matter protests over the summer turned violent and saying, that's why i would have been more concerned. the authors of that study telling abc news it's not an

accurate portrayal of the findings saying 93% of the protests were peaceful. now senator johnson's seat is up for re-election next year, and he has not yet announced if he intends to run. dan? >> elizabeth, thank you very much. let's turn to the pandemic now. the cdc this morning is saying that nearly 37 million people in this country have been fully vaccinated. that is more than 14% of the adult population, and the seven-day average of daily cases has dropped by 78% since the peak in january. at the same time though, the number of people flying this weekend in the u.s. is at a record high since the start of covid, and travel is raising some real concerns about potential superspreader events throughout the country. abc's zohreen shah is right there at the airporthrn,mog >> reporter: good morning, dan. airports have mostly been quiet. well, the tide might be about to turn. here at tsa, they hit a record

number of travelers on friday for the year and vacation sites like florida, they are seeing big crowds, and that is causing major concern. overnight, police out in force as covid concerns ramp up in south florida. >> all: spring break! >> reporter: crowded beaches and packed bars spilling onto the streets. many without masks. >> if you get the coronavirus, that's your own fault. you know the risks if you are coming out here. >> reporter: crowds so large, one mayor asking florida's governor to fine businesses for breaking protocols and delaying re-openings. >> governor, i don't disagree with what you are doing in principle. i think you're doing it too early. please give us another six or eight weeks. >> reporter: health experts now worry spring break partying could lead to a surge of cases. >> these are not individuals that have been vaccinated. they're not in the priority groups, and so they potentially could still be carrying infection, mixing with other people, bringing those infections back home. >> reporter: and there are fears about st. patrick's day celebrations.

in dallas, festivities drawing large crowds on this first weekend without a statewide mask mandate or capacity limits. chicago's parade canceled, but with a saturday surprise, dyeing the river green. the annual holiday tradition kept secret so crowds would not gather and spread covid, but the virus is not stopping some travelers. >> i'm going to pray about it. safe way there, safe way back. >> reporter: tsa screening over 1.3 million people friday, the most since march 15th last year. meanwhile, vaccinations hitting a record pace. this houston church with a long line now giving vaccinations to anyone over 50. first come, first serve. >> i couldn't get my appointment. set a date for it, but looks like today i might get it. >> reporter: and world famous cellist yo-yo ma giving this surprise performance after getting his second dose of the vaccine this weekend in massachusetts. and there's excitement across

the country. here in l.a. indoor places like gyms, restaurants, movie theaters, they are set to reopen tomorrow at a limited capacity. you guys, this is a big step, and most people here haven't taken the entire pandemic. eva? >> zohreen shah for us, thank you. president biden tomorrow sets off on what the white house calls a help is here tour to promote the covid relief package. abc's maryalice parks has more from the white house. good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: good morning, eva. yeah, this is a coordinated cross country publicity tour. the president and first lady up and down the east coast. president biden himself traveling to pennsylvania and georgia. vice president kamala harris and the second gentleman headed out to nevada. all four of them next week hitting seven states. more than half of those do have open and competitive senate races next year. still, eva, the white house says the goal is just to talk to americans, educate people about benefits in the new law that might be available to them. >> and i know they want people to be thinking about this covid relief package.

but will this tour be overshadowed by what's happening right now at the u.s./mexico border? >> reporter: yeah, that's entirely possible. this is a massive humanitarian issue, as well as a growing political crisis for president biden. just last night, the secretary of homeland security directed fema to start helping at the border with sheltering and caring for unaccompanied minors. according to the customs and border protection, more than 9,000 unaccompanied minors stopped at the border last month alone. nearly 20,000 people traveling as family units. we've heard about overcrowding at these facilities. a real struggle to implement covid testing. republicans say the president should have seen this coming. house minority leader kevin mccarthy is heading down to the border tomorrow with lots of other republicans. but congressional democrats too, they are angry and frustrated. they ran on doing this better, figuring this out. they say that president biden needs to focus on this and make real progress here. dan? >> a lot to talk about here. maryalice, thank you so much. let's bring in abc's jon

karl whose latest book "front row at the trump show" will be out in paperback on march 16th. jon, we'll talk about the book in a second. i want to start with president biden and his travels this week. politically speaking, what's the main goal in your view of this help is here tour, and what's your take on this question we just asked maryalice about how the whole thing might be overshadowed by what's going on at the border? >> first, the situation at the border, dan, is a mess and there's real concern within the biden administration that it's going to get worse. that's why they're dispatching fema. that's a big concern. regarding this tour, this is a $1.9 trillion relief bill. in terms of sheer dollars, this is bigger than anything that was done for the entire eight years of the obama/biden administration. so biden wants to get out there, and he wants to get kamala harris out there, and his cabinet out there. he wants to make sure people understand what is in this bill, and as importantly, he wants to make sure that he gets credit for it, and no doubt reminding

people that not a single republican supported what they believe will be a very popular series of programs. >> yeah, there's some sense that the previous administration, the obama administration did not sell the 2009 stimulus as aggressively, so they're going to try to make up for that this time. as mentioned though, the paperback edition of your book -- and i got one right here, that magically showed up on my seat this morning -- the paperback edition of "front row at the trump show" comes out this week. i've read the new stuff you've got in there. you've got something about a meeting you had with then president trump as covid was just setting in. can you tell me something about that? >> there's a lot of new reporting. it'll be out in a couple of days. sneak peek on this. i went in to meet with the president on march 4th of last year. this is just as the pandemic is really starting to take hold. you had already had six people die in a single nursing home in seattle. that was the day that california declared a state of emergency.

100, nearly 200 known cases around the country, and i went in to see donald trump. hand sanitizer was already off the shelves in stores. i went into the oval office, and i had just come from new york. i was saying to myself, i am not going to shake the president's hand. it's not fair to him to put him at risk. he comes into the oval office, sees me and says, hey, what should we do? should we shake hands? what do you think? and i'm, like, mr. president, it's up to you. he says, what can i get from you? he reaches out and shakes my hand, and dan, that was the last hand that i shook in all of 2020. a little while into this meeting i spent nearly an hour with him and i describe it in the book. vice president pence comes in t combat the pandemic and he's going out to seattle. he jokes again. he says, mike, he's been out meeting with sick people at the hospital. do you want to shake his hand?

i mean, it was -- the president was joking about the pandemic. really stark, and again, the last hand i ever shook in 2020. >> i'm sending you a virtual, safe fist bump from here in new york. congratulations on the paperback. i have it right here. i'll be auctioning it off on ebay later today since i already read it. jon, thank you again. i appreciate it, and congratulations again. tune in, everybody -- >> thank you. >> don't forget to tune in to "this week." george stephanopoulos has three big exclusives. he's going to speak with speaker nancy pelosi, and senator john barrass about the new covid relief package. plus, secretary janet yellen talks about the passage of the bill. that's coming up later on "this week" on abc. whit, over to you. another story we have been following. as a big section of the country deals with this storm, some americans are still struggling with the after effects of a storm nearly a month ago.elwyn atlanta with the latest.moin

is expected no later than next friday. eva? >> elwyn lopez for us. that water can't come soon enough for the people who live there. time nowfor a check of our weather. rob marciano covering what appears to be a one-two punch happening in the weather department. how are you doing, rob? >> reporter: all right. you know, winter doesn't seem to want to end for the folks in texas, and jackson, mississippi. boy, the hits just keep on coming. our hearts go out to them. and the video just keeps on coming from the tornado damage that ripped through texas yesterday. this is out of happy, texas. not so much today. my goodness. this substantial home between lubbock and amarillo, just torn apart. just a massive tornado, and they'll survey and see how strong it was. certainly an ef-3 or bigger. all right. next storm coming into the west today, seattle down to san diego, some rain in the low country and snow in the
